Context Funny / Coneheads

Go To

1* The dentist scene where Beldar is getting his teeth cleaned - '''''[[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily FOUR ROWS]]''''' of sharp teeth is hell to brush and floss.
2** The hilarious part is the dentist is only mildly surprised by him having four rows of teeth and an unhingable jaw and simply goes about his business without saying anything.
3*** The dentist is probably thinking about all the money he's going to make by capping all those teeth.
4* When Beldar sings an earth song (Soft Cell's cover of "Tainted Love") during his "death match".
5* Prymaat's reaction to the eggplants at the store and subsequent loading of several of them into her cart.
6** And hers and Beldar's similar reaction to the sight of bowling pins being knocked down.
7* Prymaat's reaction to reading the Holy Bible for the first time -- [[HumansThroughAlienEyes she busts up laughing]].
8* Beldar repairs Larry's lawnmower, which involves him sucking the sparkplug clean and then blowing it dry with a force that rivals Superman's breath. Larry nonchalantly makes sure his wig stays in place.
9* The dance Beldar does after he's won the golf trophy, including the limbo ''under'' said trophy.
10* Seedling and Turnbull cornering the Coneheads in their cul-de-sac.
11-->'''Prymaat''': Beldar. I think that is the Jehovah's Witness.\
12'''Beldar''': Eh?
13** Seedling walks menacingly up to their car, flashing his INS badge... then is almost blinded by the light of the Remulakian rescue vessel above their car.
14** When Seedling and Turnbull are pretending to be Jehovah's Witnesses, Prymatt serves them each a six-pack of soda and a bowl of chips stacked a foot high. The look on Seedling's face is just utter confusion.
15* Larry's reaction when a golfer (an uncredited Creator/TomArnold) asks what's up with Beldar's head.
16-->'''Larry:''' Forget him. He's not a member.
17* Beldar's rear-view walk into the country club showers demonstrates that Remulakians have unusual... rears. And from the glances the other members give him, the rest of their anatomy is equally unusual.
18* Beldar's ultimate victory over Seedling.
19-->'''Beldar''': I make this proposal to you. Your life in exchange for a green card.\
20'''Seedling''': Agreed. Provided, of course, that you can demonstrate a job skill that no US citizen possesses.\
21'''Beldar''': That should be no challenge to me.\
22'''Seedling''': I have no objection.\
23'''Beldar''': Good! Move! ''(makes Seedling dance with cyber-control device)'' [[EvilLaugh Nyeh-heh-heh-heh!]]
24** Of course, you have to wonder who really got the victory. The special job skill requirement is a requirement for anyone to receive the type of green card Seedling is talking about. So he simply made Beldar follow standard US immigration law (so it's a WinWinEnding, in that sense).
25* Beldar presents Remulak's ruler with some gifts -- all of which happened to be in his car, including a lug nut wrench and...
26-->'''Beldar''': An owner's manual to a Ford Lincoln Mercury Sable.\
27'''Highmaster''': Ford Lincoln Mercury Sable?\
28'''Beldar''': A personal conveyance named after its inventor, [[UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln an assassinated ruler]], a character from [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greco-Roman myth]] and a small fur-covered mammal.\
29'''Highmaster:''' Ah.
30** And his gift of [[UnusualEuphemism “chewing gum”]]
